SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE
• Avoid using your device near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a
building).
• Avoid using your device near strong electromagnetic sources, such as microwave
ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not
contain any metal.
• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local RF
exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS
This device may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is
forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device
to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may
be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
NONIONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal antenna. This device should be operated in its normal-use
position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with
other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory
operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no
part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation
of the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may
impair transmission quality and damage the device, causing loss of performance and
SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with
local regulatory requirements in your country.
To ensure human exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines set forth in the
relevant standards, always use your device only in its normal-use position. Do not
touch or hold the antenna area unnecessarily when sending or receiving data

30 Getting Started
Tip During startup, press the DEL key if you need to enter the BIOS
and change BIOS settings. To protect your Mobile Computer from
unauthorized use, it is recommended that you set a supervisor
password in the BIOS. See Chapter 5 for details.
3. After the POST finishes, you will be prompted to set up
Windows Vista®.
Tips • You can shutdown either from the Control Center or Windows Vista® Start
menu. See Chapter 2 for details.
• To prevent accidental keyboard or touch screen actions when the Mobile
Computer is in the carrying case, slide the POWER/HOLD switch to the left
until you hear a click. You will then see an orange dot beside the switch.

Your Mobile Computer is preinstalled with Windows Vista® Business Edition.
The first time you turn on your Mobile Computer, Windows Vista® runs a
setup wizard to detect hardware components and install drivers. Follow
the instructions on the screen to set up Windows Vista® and complete the
wizard.
